Demogorgon
Demogorgon, although often ascribed to Greek mythology, is attributed to a fourth-century scholar, imagined as the name of a pagan deity or demon, associated with the underworld and envisaged as a powerful primordial being, whose very name had been taboo.
==Etymology==
The origins of the name ''Demogorgon'' are uncertain, partly, perhaps, because the name was of imaginary coinage. Various theories suggest that the name is derived from a combination of the Greek words δαίμων ''daimon'' ('spirit' given the Christian connotations of 'demon' in the early Middle Ages)—or, less likely δῆμος ''demos'' ('people')— and γοργός ''gorgos'' ('quick') or Γοργών ''Gorgon'', the Ancient Greek triad of goddesses whose origins extend to the fifteenth century BC, or much earlier (as suggested by Marija Gimbutas). Another, less accepted theory claims that it is derived from a variation of 'demiurge', although the two scholarly editions with the earliest mention of the term, (Jahnke 1898 and Sweeney 1997), see ''Demogorgon'' as just such a corruption.〔See below, under References.〕
